For the upcoming Amgen Tour of California I will get to see all of the things I missed out on last year because of work, and write about them for a ‘tech’ entry every night. It’s kind of the best of both world’s: I get to play tech geek, and I get to see the race….which is what I thought I had gotten myself into two years ago.

The MissingSaddle.com crew will be establishing a new tech center. Said ‘forum’ will allow me to seek the new goods, talk to mechanics about their favorite new products and techniques, inquire from riders their impressions of the new ‘09 gear….and most importantly create a dialogue among readers. The aim is to find an avenue of talking about products in a constructive manner, without overlooking the downsides or limitations of products.  As well, I’ll be making the attempt to forward questions and concerns towards product developers, in hopes that the cycling world can get a glimpse at the thought processes involved in designing new products.

Please keep you eyes peeled for the upcoming Tour of California blog entries, rider interviews, and tech commentary from Missingsaddle.com!  And please, give us your tech questions…
